Pretty poor experience applying for Amazon as a Software Development Engineer if I'm honest. Applied for a web-based role that I exceeded the requirements for by quite a margin, proceeded to get sent leet-code tasks that hold no relevance to the position/use anything their job description requests as essential or nice to have. Very heavy use of mathematical notations in the problems (when have you ever had to solve business problems that have been written as an equation) I was going to push through and begrudgingly do the test as I'm aware the bar is high for FAANG, but I decided to close the test and withdraw my application because if they are hiring people based on these tests, I fear they won't be anywhere near suitably equipped for the role they are hiring for and one or two developers will be carrying the whole team productivity wise. Subsequently applied for an equivalent Google role, received a much more sensible test. I have now accepted an offer a week later
